	Artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artillery could no longer be deployed in the battle line, the large crews and stocks of ammunition were vulnerable to rifle fire, but had to either become smaller, lighter, more mobile and stay with the troops or get much further away.
		Modern artillery is distinguished by its large caliber, firing an explosive shell or rocket, and being of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		Modern mortars, because of their lighter weight and simpler, more transportable design, are an integral part of infantry and armor units, allowing greater responsiveness and negating their shorter range.

	ARTILLERY - LoveToKnow Article on ARTILLERY
		Mobile artillery is subdivided, again chiefly in ti spect of its employment, into horse and field batteries, heavy ai id or position artillery, field howitzers, mountain artillery and it tge trains, adapted to every kind of terrain in which field troops it ay be employed, and work they may have to do.
		The unit consists, in the case of guns, of three p,tteries (18 guns, heavy artillery 12), in the case of field flu witzers of two batteries (f 2 howitzers), and in the horse tiilery of two batteries (12 guns), and is commanded by a 0 utenant-colonel.
		As the field artillery is required to come into to tion at the earliest possible moment, it has now been dis- tli buted amongst the infantry divisions, and marches almost ar the head of the various combatant columns, instead of being in egated perhaps to the tail of the centre column.

		"Artillery" is a general term covering several varieties of large-calibre weapons; currently these fire an explosive shell or rocket and are of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		anti-aircraft artillery - artillery (usually mobile) that is dedicated to the ability to attack aircraft from the ground.
		Modern field artillery is often self-propelled (permanently mounted in a carriage or vehicle capable of moving independently) in order to move quickly from one firing position to another - to both support the fluid nature of modern combat and to avoid 'counter-battery fire'.

		Only 8 years after Hiroshima, nuclear artillery shells were invented, and 3 years later these shells were small enough to be fired from a 155 millimeter howitzer.
		The artillery firepower of a maneuver battalion, for example, has doubled since World War II while the "casualty effect" of modern artillery guns has increased 400 percent.
		Modern combat divisions are configured to routinely deliver 12-14 combat pulses a day and to fight around the clock by night operations.

	Amicicide: the problem of friendly fire in modern war
		Tremendous artillery preparations, the rolling barrage and close defensive concentrations utilizing guns and shells of frequently unpredictable performance in indirect fire techniques of still primitive efficiency, and the absence of dependable, instantaneous battlefield communications posed significant hazards to friendly troops in both the attack and the defense.
		Artillery amicicide was also probably one contributor to the well-known distaste of the frontline soldier for the denizens of the staff and rear area, among whom the artillerists were (in view of their exposure to counterbattery fire) perhaps unjustly included.
		Nor were the effects of artillery amicicide any different: the reduction of friendly combat power through the loss of friendly troops dead and wounded, confusion, and the inevitable degradation of morale, all of which contributed to slowed or broken offensive operations and to the weakening of defensive positions.

	Napoleonic Artillery
		Even during the Revolution, the artillery arm continued to make its presence felt, and the fighting at Valmy and St.Roch were only two incidents which highlighted the continuing influence of the many trained artillerists and engineers in the face of terror and upheaval.
		Artillery stationed on high ground was, if time allowed, placed behind makeshift redoubts and issued plenty of shotgun-like case rounds to use against enemy units as they toiled upslope.
		Artillery batteries (usually called companies at this time) appear to have had the natural tendency to fire to their immediate front.

		Cannon operation was still a complex technical task, often undertaken at high-speed and in stressful conditions, where a mistake could easily be lethal.
		The crowning achievement of naval artillery was the battleship, bristling with guns of up to 18 inches (45 cm), but the advent of air-power and missiles have rendered this type of artillery largely obsolete.
		{{mainfield artillery}} Modern field artillery (Post-World War I) has three distinct parts: the forward observer (or FO), the fire direction center (FDC) and the actual guns themselves.

	Real-life Artillery
		The modern artillery piece is an incredibly lethal and (in the public eye) totally unappreciated piece of machinery.
		Artillery has an effective 100% duty cycle in the local combat area, unlike aircraft which cover large areas and must periodically return to base for refueling, maintenance, etc. Artillery is also much harder to detect than aircraft.
		Modern systems even have multiple simultaneous strike capability, which is accomplished by firing three times in rapid succession: once at very high elevation, once at medium elevation, and once at low elevation.

	artillery. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Types of artillery include antiaircraft and antitank guns (which fire at high muzzle velocity through long barrels at flat trajectories) and howitzers (with shorter barrels, lower velocities, and parabolic trajectories).
		Artillery was first extensively employed in the field during the Thirty Years War (1618–48); thereafter it played an increasingly important role until the advent of aircraft.
		Artillery was characteristically smoothbore and muzzle-loaded, firing solid, round shot, until the latter part of the 19th cent., when breech-loaded, rifled, and shell-firing artillery became standard.

	Gunpowder Weapons of the Late Fifteenth Century
		Modern scholars distinguish between combustible objects being hurled from non-gunpowder machines, and the actual use of gunpowder as an explosive to propel objects from a gun.
		French established artillery parks: at Dax in 1442, at Mauléon in 1449, and at Guissen in 1449.
		However, the French artillery under the Bureau brothers attempted to 'standardize' the diameters of the guns to a few specific sizes, as part of their logistical measures in managing the large artillery inventories of Charles VII, and later of Louis XI.

		Initially, land artillery was divided into three types: the gun, mortar, and howitzer (which shares some characteristics of both guns and mortars)..
		Modern mortars, still muzzle-loaded, consist of a light tube into which shells with propellant charges attached are dropped.
		By the end of that conflict, rocket-type artillery included unguided antiaircraft weapons; recoilless rifles; and the German V-2 rocket with a range of 350 km (220 mi), which left the earth's atmosphere during its high-arc flight to the target.

		"The nature of modern artillery fire and the effects of machine gun fire were surprising in the degree to which they affected the battle.
		They did have machine guns, and they did have modern bolt action rifles, and there were aircraft at the Front.
		In a sense, however big your unit was, the modern firepower simply made you seek cover to remain a coherent force on the battlefield.

	Lightweight Artillery---Procrastinating With The M101 Howitzer
		This had a significant impact on the future of artillery and the Marine Corps was left with two alternatives; (1) keep the M101 howitzer as a direct support weapon, and accept the disadvantages of battling in the future with limited range and ammunition, or (2) follow the trace of the Army and purchase the M19B.
		From an operational standpoint the artillery is characterized as a burden during the initial stages of amphibious operations, and for the first time Marines have difficulty employing its towed direct support artillery in other than ideal conditions.
		The artillery fires are curtailed during this period however, because they cannot fire just prior to moving, while on the move and for a short while after arriving at the new destination.

	Non-Gunpowder Artillery
		Like modern artillery, medieval crew-operated weapons were of two general categories relating to tactical employment: indirect fire (throwing or lobbing) objects (projectiles) toward a target area, and directly shooting a missile (arrow/bolt or 'bullet') at a target.
		The convention seems to have grown from assumptions of 19th century writers who were very familiar with ancient Roman mechanical artillery, and easily conveyed the meaning of the word 'mangonel' found in early medieval sources to mean the Roman single-arm torsion catapult.
		The modern French translator of Guillaume, Waquet, references a French scholar on medieval weapons, Camille Enlart, who states that the mangonel was a throwing machine with a fixed, not suspended, counterweight hutch.

	Ground Combat Technology: Conclusions
		Stormtrooper armour is environmentally sealed and much stronger than modern body armour, so it conveys an advantage to the Empire: they can freely use chemical weapons as long as the chemical agent is short-lived and easily dispersed (to avoid excessive collateral damage in the nearby city).
		A sustained artillery bombardment would wipe them out without any chance for a counter-attack, and the hoppers they use for evacuation would be easy pickings for fighter craft or anti-aircraft weapons.
		Modern infantry are taught to fight as teams and work as teams, exploiting the various weaponry available to them.

		In terms of equipment and doctrine, however, this implies a number of contractions, evident not least in the procurement of the modern artillery systems that have steadily evolved since the cold war.
		Many of the larger self-propelled artillery systems entering, or about to enter, the inventories of a number of western armies are considered outsized loads in terms of airlift requirements.
		The need for modern artillery systems to deliver multiple rounds in under 10 seconds, means old style fuse technology is redundant.

		Ironically, the artillery which formed such a crucial part of this modern army was almost certainly developed at first with the tacit approval of the British and later with their unwitting help.
		Ranjit Singh readily appreciated the crucial role of artillery in modern warfare and took every opportunity to develop and increase his artillery train.
		Development was undoubtedly accelerated by periodic diplomatic gifts of modern cannon from the British on which the Sikhs modeled their new artillery.

	FINNISH ARMY 1918 - 1945: ARTILLERY PART II
		During WW1 little by little France managed to replace most of these old guns with new modern artillery weapons, but as the old "Mle 1877" and "Mle 1878" guns had served them quite well they were put through maintenance and then carefully stored for possible future use.
		France offered only limited amount of modern artillery, but instead was willing to donate large number of old "Mle 1877" and "Mle 1878" guns, which the French had no use and could be delivered with large amounts of readily available ammunition.
		Noteworthy detail is that issuing these old field guns without recoil system to coastal artillery wasn't a one-way street - fortification artillery units of Salpa-line also got large number of coastal guns for their use.
